Now, for the first time, my Dishy assigned my router an IP ending in .0. Orbi is telling me that it's an invalid gateway IP address. Any ideas?
Wow, I didn't realize that legal IP addresses can end in 0: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14915188/ip-address-ending-with-zero. Seems like the Orbi needs to be updated to support such IP addresses.
In the meantime, can you force your Dishy to assigned another IP address to your router (and hope you get one that the Orbi will accept)?
I've tried rebooting both Dishy and the Orbi, but it still hands out the .0 address, probably due to a reservation based on the Orbi's MAC address, which I can't change. I may just have to wait for it to rotate and hope for a non-zero address.
